Chapter 50


    Amanda


    Mitsi had gotten me dressed in record time. I had no idea how she managed to put so many pieces of


    clothes on me, that barely covered anything really, in such a short amount of time. What was the point


    of all of this if the vast majority of it was see-through?


    "This way," Mitsi informed me with a bob of her head and she darted down the opposite end of the hall.


    I had to jog to catch up to her.


    I nced back at the way we were running from. I didn''t see anything, so why did she look so worried?


    Was she expecting us to be chased or something?


    "Here," she tugged me into yet another room and pulled me to a stool. "I''ll be quick. He doesn''t like a


    lot of makeup, but your eyes are puffy. We have to fix them."


    We seemed to be alone. I leaned a little closer as she sorted through an assortment of makeup on her


    table. "Who is this guy anyway? What does he want?"


    Her eyes darted to the door then back to me. She held a finger to her lips and then rushed over to the


    door, closing it securely. She crept back to my side and picked a suitable color before going to work.


    "Aren is a devout follower of the Moon Goddess," she hissed to me.


    I resisted the urge to snort. I''d blow the powders everywhere. "Aren''t we all?"


    She clucked her tongue at me. "Not like he is. He''s sacrificed male children to her."


    I clutched my chest. "What?" I whispered.


    She nodded. "He only keeps the ones that she tells him to. It just so happens they always are the


    female children. They''re taken to another facility to be raised right after they''re born. The mother is


    usually given a few days of rest before he visits them again."


    The more I heard about this man, the more determined I was to find a way out of here. I''d endure it for


    only as long as I needed to, then I''d be running without looking back. "So yours?" I whispered, nodding


    to her little belly.


    Mitsi put a hand on her little bump. "Mine," she agreed with a nod. "They''re usually sold into very


    when they''re old enough. I wish I could do something. I keep praying it''s a girl so at least she won''t be


    killed outright."


    "The Moon Goddess would never ept any of this," I hissed. "She saved me. She reached down and


    gave me a path away from my first Alpha. She even dissolved a bond that was forced on me. If


    anything, if I prayed to her now she''d rescue me from here. But I can''t go yet anyway."


    Mitsi''s eyes darted to the door again before giving a little sigh. "Alessa."


    "Amanda," I corrected. "I don''t care what he calls me, but I''m not giving up my name. I''ll never bend to


    him."


    "We''ll see about that," she whispered softly, studying the ground. "But," she nced back up. "You


    should know that you''re not the first Luna to try to escape here. Do you want to know what happened to


    the others?"


    Did I really want to know? It couldn''t be anything good. But maybe there would be some sort of hint or


    answer on what I shouldn''t do. "Yes."


    "The first one ended up drowned. She had her head stuck in one of the barrels for Aren''s pets. I''m not


    sure who killed her. My personal theory is it was another one of the Luna''s. One that hadpletely


    snapped and epted Aren''s teachings."


    "I can swim," I replied. "I''ll be careful around the others," I added as she shook her head at me.


    "The second was ripped apart. Those creatures in the forest are like demons themselves. But not like


    the demon people, but feral ones. She screamed the entire time until they finally got bored and killed

    her. They kept her alive for two days straight, slowly taking a body part at a time and keeping her alive


    to suffer."


    My first goal would be to figure out a way to bypass those creatures. There had to be a solution. Maybe


    I could try to win them over if they were simple beasts. I would find it, no matter what it took. If I couldn''t


    get them on my side, then I''d find out how to kill them.


    "You''re still thinking about it, aren''t you?" Mitsi asked with a sad little sight. "I don''t want to see anyone


    else killed. Please, it''s best if you just give up and submit to being Alessa. You are treated a bit like a


    broodmare, but beyond that, your life could be much worse."


    "Your children are ripped from you. There''s no way I''m going through that again," I growled at her. It


    made me think of ra and her siblings. Would they be okay? Would Zale still try to save them or


    would he write them off since I had betrayed them all?


    Mitsi stroked her stomach and bit her bottom lip. "It''s better they live than anything else happens to


    them. Maybe some of them won''t end up in the worst case scenario." She chuckled softly bit instead of


    mirth, there was a darkness to it and her hand stilled. "But, not for my child. Whatever happens to this


    one, they''ll live a cursed life. No one will ever want a hybrid of their parentage."


    The door creaked and we both froze in ce.


    A tall woman with dark curls falling down her shoulders glided into the room, closing it shut behind her.


    Her red-tinted skin only ented her beauty. Obsidian eyes full of promises focused on me. "You are


    not the type of Luna normally brought here."


    Mitsi bowed low. "Mistress Cee," she greeted. "This is Alessa. She is the Prime Luna." Mitsi nced


    back at me. "And this is Mistress Cee, the current favorite of Master Aren and the Luna of the demons."
